#KidneyStones #InstituteOfHumanAnatomy
Hey everyone! I just want to be super clear about something towards the end of the video - it's not that spinach, potatoes and beans should be avoided by all individuals at all times (or that they're unhealthy).
The issue is that once someone has a kidney stone, the likelihood of them developing another stone within the next few years is EXTREMELY high. It's these individuals that will need to make the most drastic dietary changes.
For most everyone else, diets high in citrate and that include a significant water intake are usually seen to be a best practice.
As always though, consult your doctor and find the best path forward for you.
Thanks!
more painful than giving birth?
There's 3 different kind of stones. Calcium Oxalate being the hardest to treat as they are stronger than diamonds.
Many Doctors recommend hydration & a low oxalate diet. Also suggested is to consume calcium foods along with foods containing oxalates as it might prevent stones. I say "suggest" however there is research to back it up.
Okay thanks doc
I've never had kidney stones before and I hope I don't but it sounds pretty damn scary.
One of the things that gave me so much pain during my kidneystones were also the pressure of urine sitting in the kidney while the stone was passing... my kidney was swollen and SO painful!!! So it’s not only the stone squeezing through a narrow tube!!
Well I’ve never had a kidney stone and this comment section makes me wanna do literally everything I can to avoid getting one
yep same, i think they are now my worst fear
Don't drink a lot of sugar drinks. I know a lot of people who are prone to them & doctors have told all of them it's because they drink too much sweet tea (we're southern)
Drink lemonade or other citrus drinks every day. The most common stones caused by diet and lifestyle are composed of calcium oxalate which doesnt dissolve in water but can dissolve in citrate. You can also avoid foods high in oxalate and make an attempt to stay hydrated to prevent calcium oxalate from accumulating.
Other stones are generally genetic or occur alongside conditions such as gout
@@SuLokify wouldn’t regular water be better though?
@@litchtheshinigami8936 Regular water keeps you hydrated which is good for preventing formation of stones, but the material they're made from won't dissolve in water. They will eventually dissolve in citrate so including that in your diet should be even more beneficial
I had a teacher who had kidney stones. Occasionally they'd hurt him during class and he'd lean on his desk, head down, teeth clenched and say: "Kids, drink your water! Please, drink your water!!"
Yeah my mom is Obama
@@mjribes I saying that i think you made up story and what you said is not true
@Legendary Ra LOL!! The fact is it is true. He was my standard 9 (that's grade/year 11) Afrikaans teacher while I was at school in South Africa... way back in the early 90s.
that really cracked me up
I had a kidney. I had to go to the hospital at 2 am
I had my first kidney stone in 2014 and it woke me up out of a dead sleep and I was SCREAMING! If you can imagine being stabbed in them kidney with a red hot jagged spike, then it being twisted over and over, you KINDA get the idea. I thought I was dying and got no relief until I begged the ER for meds to make it stop. Worst pain I’ve ever experienced and I’ve had it twice.
I had a kidney stone in 2019. As a man, I am extremely reluctant to complain about pain, but I ended up in the ER, and after the nurses waited around for a while, I broke down and started SHOUTING from the room in which they had left me, all the way out to the nurses' station/waiting room "Help! Help! Help!" I almost couldn't form multi-word sentences. All social restraint was gone. The nurse said my eyes were rolling around in my head and she thought I was going to pass out at any moment, so THEN they took me seriously, and my 1.3 cm stone was removed surgically, thank God.
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
1.3 really I just had 3 and none were removed
13mm stones, that's no damn joke.
Good that you got help and was relieved from pain and discomfort - 🙏🏼
1.3cm are 13mm, so 4 times yours @@apriljohnson9734
It feels like being stabbed with a hot knife. Then, every twenty minutes someone comes and twists it. This could go on for several hours or even days. You can’t sit up because it hurts, so you try to stand but that hurts. You can’t lie down because that hurts too so you just kneel over some cushions or curl up on the floor. Then the pain is so intense, you just puke for what seems like an hour until there’s absolutely nothing left. You can’t eat, sleep, or even drink a little water for quite some time. Best thing to do is get a heating pad and eventually you will get so exhausted, you’ll pass out for a brief respite between the stabbing pains.
That ending 😂😂😂
This is a case where only having "Thumbs up" and "Thumbs down" aren't sufficient.
This is exactly how I would explain appendicitis
Yep that is exactly what it's like.
I said... a GUN or MORPHINE...😫😫😫😫‼️‼️
I passed a kidney stone when I was 9 months pregnant. The pain was so bad I thought I was in labor and went to the hospital. Luckily it passed and they sent me home. 5 days later I delivered my son and I can say indefinitely the kidney stone pain was much worse.
My wife passed a kidney stone during labor. She said it was much worse than giving birth! I remember that very vividly.
i also had a kidney stone when I was 9 months pregnant and on top of that I had bronchitis and a UTI. I had these coughing spells then I felt like someone took a knife and stabbed me in my right flank. It took my breath away. It was very painful. I thought I hurt my back from coughing. I saw my dr the next day and he told me i have a kidney stone and i told him no i don't but i did. My son was born a week later healthy(i also had oligohydramnios, low amniotic fluid)a little crinkled up and my placenta looked like beef jerky, but no problems, thank God. The pain of the kidney stone was worse than the birth, but not the 1st kid, that one was worse!
That is incredible.
That’s wild! I passed an 8mm stone at 6 months pregnant and the pain of childbirth was way worse for me!! Kidney stone was just really uncomfortable and annoying that it took 2 weeks to pass.
@Douglas Hanlon Hard to avoid any cognitive biases but it seems like inherent optimism bias and terror management theory will always help regardless of ideologies such as antinatalism based on consent and efilism.
My grandpa had kidney stones a few months ago. He is 86 years old and he is a colonel of the air force, i’ve never seen him asking for help, in pain or complaining. As far as i can remember under all circumstances he preserved a strong posture and never asked for help. When he got kidney stones it was the first time that he desperately called for help during the night and my grandma said that he wept in the hospital, and she said it was the first time of that happening. Stay safe friends
that is really helpful, one feels a wuss as just seen as 'ibs;
Let me give you a tip! I dealt with a kidney stone in September of 2022 and it was the worst pain I ever experienced. Not because it’s unbearable, but because it’s never ending. It’s a constant flow of horrible pain. During the first night of dealing with the stone I suffered greatly. I couldn’t sleep or even sit still without the horrible pain making me worried that I may be possibly dying. I would easy get dizzy and light headed because of how extreme the pain is. Overtime I found a home remedy. Whenever the pain would come back and I could tolerate it no longer, I would step into the shower for about 20 minutes and let the hot water just hit my kidney. By that time my kidney would start numbing and I would no longer feel the pain. When I was good, I would go lay down and try to sleep. When the pain came back and I would wake up in the middle of the night, I would do the same thing. Shower, numb, sleep. Keep doing this over and over and trust me, it will make your experience a lot easier!
How about using a heating pad instead of a shower. Will that help? I can't imagine waking up my family to have constant showers at all hours of the night.
@@noturningbackever493 man when your in extreme pain your family will understand
@@jubilant714Okay, I understand. Never had one and hope that I never will.
Folks, i tried all these, ithelped if even, only for a lil time. I was in emergrncy room twice a week, and there was no doc to make a stone removal, covid times. After a year and half of extreme suffering, i arranged a private clinic, payed 1000 e, but they fixed me in 4 hours. Of coure, jj stent, and cystoscopic removal followed.
@@noturningbackever493 nothing works until the stone is removed/gone. had cancer at 48 and had a lot of problems relating to the radiation treatment/damage. When I was 65 had the 1st stone - woke up in the middle of the night - I just thought it was another problem relating to radiation. Finally hubby made me get up & took me to nearby clinic. After the nurse took vitals the doctor RAN into the room. Asked which local hospital I preferred - told him & he said go NOW. It was an election day so I told him I'll vote & then go to the hospital. He said NO - YOU GO NOW. At ER vitals were again taken & I was immediately hooked up to an IV with morphine. Turns out I had sepsis - 2 days ICU and a week in the hospital. This was the beginning of a 5 year battle with stones. After 9 lithotripsies (sonic wave treatment to break up stones) had to have the left kidney removed.

Had kidney stones when I was 10. My grandma was in the hospital having her hip replaced. She was a floor above me and said with certainty that she heard my screams. I’m 42 now, and have since had bone marrow biopsies, but passing those stones will be something I remember forever.

Same mine were at 10
@@josephquinnswolin3500you can get them by poor diet or eating to many oxalates
@@dreamingxtyler3951Not necessarily just by “poor diet.” Myself, I never drink sodas; never eat commercially-prepared foods; cook everything fresh, daily, was vegetarian/vegan, and extremely careful with What I put in my mouth, and still had them, twice in a year.

I literally crawled into the ER because of kidney stones. That pain is no joke.
Yep!! It's awful 😩😩
Ditto ..... Within 9 minutes they shot morphine into the just placed IV port .... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ,,,,, YESSSSSSSSSSSS
Same here & drive myself over 20 miles to the ER. Don’t even know how I got there it hurt so f@cking bad!
Same here. If you can handle this nothing comes close.
I had a cat scan done, and it showed one passing, and a few more sitting in my kidney. Once the morphine kicked in, I was good. Kidney infection on top of stones were not good. 😩
"the pain is subjective". On a scale of 1-10, it starts out as an 11 and then subjective kicks in.
They asked me in the hospital how I rated the pain; I said, it started around a 7, jammed up to 11, then dropped to between 2 and .5 after I vomited before creeping up again. At the time it was between 5 and 6, but then all of a sudden someone jammed a blunted pencil right through my lower back and we hit 12. I didn't know my personal pain scale went quite that high, and I'd sooner not have found out. And that was a medium 4mm stone.
@@markhughes2611 Epic post, and so true!
@@markhughes2611 Absolutely hilarious. It's like you're in training: "At the start, 5mm took me down. Now 7mm, and I calmly say, 'Bring it!'" Fabulous! I've had them too, and the way you write about them is spot on.
I have had kidney stones. They hurt. A lot. BUT! There is a long way from kidney stone pain to the worst pain I have experienced. I won't go into it. I just want to tell you to be kind to people in pain. You have No Idea how bad it is for them. Alleviate their suffering as best as you can, and do it with as much compassion as you can muster. I remember a nurse running back and forth for hot towels for half her shift and I still tear up from gratitude for that relief. My heros are the ones who relieve my pain and do even basic care like bringing me an orange or any silly little things ... I am on palliative care for my pain.
My wife just went through this. We have three kids--two of them twins. Her exact words about the kidney stone pain was "I've had twins and thought that hurt but this [kidney stone] is a whole different level of pain!"
The stones pain is a constant agonizing one. Its like something miniscule is grinding a specific part inside ... horrendous indeed
A women who says childbirth I 1 of 2 things a women thats never had kids or a lair. Im a dude put I have had amputations and surgical reattachments, also been hit awfully hard in the balls, never have I never felt a pain like a kidneystone. I would pray to God to just let me die right then right there, I dont care if mom or dad would be upset or I left important things unfinished, I just wanted to be free of that pain.
"we're gonna see why they hurt so much"
you're pissing sharp rocks thats why they hurt so much
and the tube squeezes them into itself
honestly its going threw the kidney is the worst part cause then your whole f ing body is seized up in agony at least when its coming out the pain is localized to one area
It's like sucking a baseball through a garden hose the pain comes from ripping and cutting at the Aretha as it passes through and then when it clogs the kidney swells up like a balloon which it is not made to do in the pain is just oh geez
@@jskratnyarlathotep8411 please my mind is imagining it already 😭😭
Nah, pissing it out is the easiest part. These little fuckers hurts the most when they left kidneys. Trust me, been there done that many times, do not recommend xD
I would rather give birth to a coffee table then to have another kidney stone

Lmaoooooo
Ooh, I need a new coffee table... get cracking Patty!
Congrats! its a Oak with drawers and a polished finish.
This definitely hurts more than childbirth. 100% it’s the worst thing a human can go through aside from purposeful torture. The sweat, the loss of limb control, the vomiting, the loss of bladder and bowl control…never have I thought I was dying the way I did that day. I’ve also passed a premature pregnancy and it was painful too, throwing up, shaking, shitting, bleeding, but nothing compared to the kidney stone. Ibuprofen worked for passing the fetus but I wouldn’t stop involuntarily shaking until they gave me morphine to the vein for the kidney. I thought my spine had somehow broken and I was genuinely afraid I wouldn’t be able to walk again. My husband and I have both had them so thankfully someone near me understood.
damn....I started drinking apple cider vinegar (home made) with warm water after my stones. about 7-8 dcl every morning. I think it helps.
I said this before and will say it again a women who says childbirth is worse than a kidney stone is a liar or never had children. I have had amputations and surgical reattachments that literally take years to heal enough you don't feel constant pain and still it was nothing to having a 2cm kidneystone. Im.sure I have had worse but that was the first time they could tell me the size and they also.found blood.in my urine.
I have surgery Monday for a kidney stone. I am looking forward to relief but terrified too. Thank you for this explanation
Keen to know how it went? Which removal method did they do?
How did you know you had a stone?
I've had 2x surgeries in 2x years . 1st one was a 1 inch big stone. Never knew I had it until an ultrasound looking for the cause of other pain.
Roll on 18 months, I went for a routine CT scan and found 2x more. Didn't know I had them either.
Guess I got lucky, the most painful part for me is the afterpain from surgery. Having a stent installed for a week, and then getting that removed.

Ive had kindey stones multiple times, I remember the first time, it was 8 years ago, I was 12. Me and my parents were watching a movie at night thats when I first started feeling a kind of unexplainable pain, I thought it was my back but it wasnt, I hid the pain away until the morning. I woke up in the biggest pain I will ever experience. I threw up 17 times that day because of the pain. After throwing up 12 times, the last 5 times were just blood because I didnt have anything else to throw up. We were of course at the hospital for a few days and I going to the cafeteria with my mom. I saw a kid at my age that had cancer. That child died a few days later... I will never forget the pain of the kidney stones, but at the same time... I will never ever explain how thankful I was to have ONLY kidney stones...
God blessed you with wisdom and compassion, that's really cool
You just left me speechless with that end, it must have been really shocking to you.
To me the pain wasn't the worst part, it was that bad, it's just pain, and you also get morphine. the worst part was the aftermath of the surgery, I had one of those tubes from the kidney to the bladder, and it made me feel like I had to pee all the time, I had to put myself on a schedule, and only allow myself to go to the bathroom once every hour, else I would have lived in there. Walking made it worse and going to pick up food sometimes had me doubled over. I'm really happy I still had some morphine left.
@@daniellundberg2875 the aftermath sounds similar to a UTI.

I've not had kidney stones, but I had gallbladder stones. If you could do a video on that, including what they do during the surgery to the bile duct etc, I'd be very grateful, and so interested.
I didn't know these existed too! I'd definitely like a video on this one.
The worst pain I have ever experienced was from gallstones. I was so excited for that surgery! I wanted that sucker out asap.
Fantastic explanation. First time it happened, I didn't know I had a stone. One minute I was out socialising, next thing I thought I was dying. You won't be able to sit in a ER waiting area, you'll be pacing like a mad person - this is a classic kidney stone sign, you can't stay still. The next hours were a blur. You're sweating, vomiting, totally out of your body. It took 4 morphine shots to get the pain down a tiny notch. A scan showed I had 7 more stones. Eventually had a uteroscopy to get them out - 4+ hours of surgery. In my case, it's genetic and the shape of my kidneys. Btw peeing out the stone is a relief, and that part doesn't hurt at all, it's when they're stuck at the top near your kidney that you'll be begging for mercy.
thank you for that it was really helpful, I glad that they can give you pain relief, I wonder how quick it set in
The feeling of relief when it passes is incredible. I was nauseous, and doubled over in pain with a stone for hours. When it moved on, the pain and nausea disappeared in minutes. The euphoria of going from one exteme to another cannot be decribed !!!
I know this when I go to the hospital and they give me morphine! It's the only drug I know that actually helps relieve my ks pain.
Yes, I understand what you mean, it happened to me several years ago. It suddenly/ unexpectedly,
Passed through me. What a relief !!
Peace to all.
@@alankirkby465 I didnt quite understand that completely. Literally small stones fall while you pee? Like if you were to look at your pee closely you would see stones? And those you see in your pee are as big as the ones shown or they are just little fragments?
I had kidney stones twice with my last pregnancy. They were too big to pass and blocked my ureter so nothing could pass to my bladder. Had to have it surgery to remove when I was 6 Mos pg then at 36 weeks the same thing happened so I was induced and had baby so I could have surgery again. That was 20 years ago.

Two years ago, late August, I woke up one morning, at around 5 am I believe, feeling a sharp pain on the left side of my abdomen. At first I thought it might be food poisoning. Oh, I wish it were. I lied down awake in the bed for a bit and then decided to go to the bathroom. I didn't feel like pooping or vomitting so I returned to the bed with a bucket just in case I wanted to throw up. While trying to relax in bed, the pain got worse, I sat at the side of the bed and then got on my knees on the floor, trying to find a more comfortable position to relieve the pain, laying my upper body against the mattress. The pain had literally folded me in half.
It was still early, around 6. I decided to get up, and go to the local health center. I was in no condition to drive, and it wasn't particularly far, like 600 meters from my house. I just left the house wearing whatever I was sleeping in and some sandals (summer). Well, let me tell you, I barely walked like 50 meters out of the house, when I had to collapse on the sidewalk from the pain. I didn't have my phone with me, for fear of losing it under these conditions. Luckily, someone happened to pass by that knew who I am, they immediately tried to get an ambulance to pick me up, but sadly, there was no ambulance available. I gave them my parents number to call them and remember, it was still like 6:15 AM, so my parents were still in bed. They woke up, got the car and drove for 15 minutes to get to me. I was still lying on the sidewalk on one side. I couldn't really stand up, at least not for more than a few seconds. When they arrived, I managed to get in the front seat and we promptly got to the health center.
I threw up once while in the hospital bed, but it was a lot, I overfilled the bowl the nurse was holding, it was real bad. At some point while there, I was given a strong painkiller which slowly made it easier to relax and eventually get up. I went to the toilet for a urine sample that had a pink tint, (surprise, surprise, there was blood in there). The doctor then sent me to have an ultrasound of the general abdominal area, which didn't show any kidney stones or any problems with my bladder, just an irritation in a specific area of the kidney, where the stone was, the ultrasound doctor assumed. I went back to the doctor at the health center, and she told me that I need to see a urologist.
That led to some of the worst months of my life so far. I saw the urologist, he told me I need to go get a CT scan for my upper abdominal area. The CT scan mentioned something around 13mm in diameter in my left kidney and proposed I have an MRI scan in that kidney to examine that finding better. Fast forward 1 month after the CT scan, I get the MRI scan and send the results (with the data disc) to my doctor who is in a different city, he looks at them with his team of experts and tells me it's like 99% a cyst. But then, he tells me I should go do a cellular urine test to be more safe. I had to go to a different place and stay at a hotel to give them the required samples at the hospital, because I couldn't do this test where I live. Anyway, after that stressful 3 days, and another 10 days of waiting for the results, I was relieved to get a negative result in terms of malignancies. So after that, the urologist told me I should try to relax and forget about it, because there's nothing more I can do, in terms of tests, other than possibly do a scan every year or so, to check if anything has changed. Last time I did an ultrasound, the doctor told me he can barely make out something around 14mm in diameter and according to his expertise in the field of kidney ultrasounds, he said it is most likely something called a... let's say... fatty bloodvessel or something (sorry, we are not English speakers so I tried to translate it directly) and that it's a benign formation. The good news is there were no kidney stones and the kidney looks fine, same for the bladder. He also told me I should stop worrying too much so I've been trying to do my best to live more carefree.
The only thing I've changed about my diet is drinking plenty of bottled water. In the past I used to drink exclusively tap water, which was probably my downfall. I just hope I haven't done any major damage to my kidneys.
And yes, my father had issues with kidney stones but ever since he started drinking exclusively bottled water, he hasn't had an episode for more than 20 years now.
P.S: It's defintely the worst pain I've experienced so far.
Did you do surgery?
I must say, I know for a fact that my right kidney is bigger than my left one. Because my left kidney is gone! Lol! Donated it to my Mom in Oct.99’! Sign your drivers license people. Gave my Mom another 14 years off the dialysis machines. Wouldn’t change a thing. Great show.

I had a kidney stone a few years ago, thought I was literally dying. I thought at first it was a massive painful shit, but after I realized I couldn't crap, I collapsed on the bathroom floor in pain. I then told my job at the time that I had to leave. On my way back home I stopped at about ten restrooms thinking I had massive poop pains but yet nothing helped and it felt like my intestines were melting. I then went back home and after an hour of severe pain I called a friend to drive me to a hospital as I thought I was about to die. I then was puking while in the emergency room from the pain and then after a couple of hours I pissed it out and almost immediately the pain went away. Ive had blood clots, and had them slice into my leg without any painkillers or being asleep for them to pump in anticoagulant into my veins and pushing the tube up my deep veins in my leg (because of the severity of my condition they had to operate on me without putting me to sleep and with no painkillers, because it would have lowered my heart rate too much). Anyways, the kidney stone hurt worse then them slicing into my veins and shoving shit up them. But the worst pain was afterwards when I got a 20k medical bill for them doing nothing and just pissing out the kidney stone for being in the emergency room for three hours, yay America!
I'm glad I live in Canada. I passed kidney stones once a month for a year and a half and had to go in twice to get then removed by laser because they were too big to pass. All hospital visits, all tests, all operations, didn't cost me a penny. They found out I was getting stones because I had a parathyroid tumor. So back into the hospital for another operation. Again not costing me a penny. I've been kidney stone free for over 5 years now. =)

I had one at age 31 in 1992. I've always had severe menstrual cramps but this pain was different...it was towards my back. I went to the emergency room at 1:00 a.m. it was just down the street, Piedmont in Atlanta. The stone had passed and later I was released. I've always been very healthy. Women were told to take Rolaids for extra calcium. So there you have it. That was 30 years ago.
My husband had kidney stones, it was the worst pain he’s ever experienced. He named two of the biggest ones Bertha and fang.
Bless his heart! My adult son was plagued with them for several years, and they finally seemed to have let up, at least for the past few years. Docs say his kidneys are full of them.😳 The only time I ever saw my dad cry other than the deaths of my grandparents was when he had a kidney stone. I can’t imagine the pain, but women who’ve had them swear they’d rather have a baby! Yikes!
@@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043 I've had both and I'd much rather have another kid.😱😂

@@rbasket8 fam how ?.!?!?!
I passed one and I just turned 23 it was about 8 mm and passing it isn’t the worst part it’s the days where you can just feel the pain in your kidney and just know you’re gonna be in constant pain and vomiting for hours
Had a UTI and peed a 1 piece of Kidney Stone. I didn't feel anything when it came out though, been in the tip in my D all night and when I woke up I pick it up and felt amazingly satisfying lol. You might prefer to pee them out rather than surgically remove them unless you have dozens of them. Also best prefer to stay healthy coz this hurts like hell for a lot of hours, lower back pain or side abdominal pain would really make you feel suicidal once that pain kicks in if you have Kidney Stones or UTI, though Kidney Stones are a lot more painful from my experience. Since then I've been drinking lots of water coz I never want to go back and feel this again. I promise you it's like torture straight up, no shit, and it last for hours per day.
This was an awsome video. I can rarely sit through a video that is 20 min long - but this was so interesting and well presented - I really enjoyed it and learned alot. Thanks!
Best description and explanation video on this topic
When I told the ER doctors I didn't need pain medication and he slammed that script in my hand and literally begged me to take it I knew it wasn't going to be fun. I have never felt pain like that in my entire life. Good thing he made me take the pills. I thought I was going to die.
The er Dr didn't give me pills, just one shot at 6 PM, and a prescription, only thing the drug store didn't open until morning, it was a long night!
got up one morning to go work out and it dropped me to my knees. some how drove myself to the ER. They gave me morphine after I was admitted and it did not do shit! They give that to people that have been shot!
@@richardreinhard8864 I had to walk to the Er after almost passing out in pain, that thing is not a joke, I had another one last weak, after I realized what it was I went straight to the hospital, thankfully both times it was a great and free treatment.
@@richardreinhard8864 Hear hear! Same thing happened to me. 10 minutes after they gave me the shot of morphine I asked them when they were going to give me my pain shot. They said we already did. Obviously it didn't do shit. When I was on the X-Ray table the doc injected me with hypaque (a contrast dye.) He said you might feel a little nauseous from it and I puked all over him before he finished the shot! My pain stopped instantly and he told me I must have passed the stone. Little did he nor I know that I would be nursing that stone for 30 more days!
@@richardreinhard8864 once it's at peak pain level theres hardly anything they can do. I'm sure it's better than nothing though. I was in the hospital for days over one that was stuck. I passed it eventually when it began moving and they released me. I've also passed others at home with just slight kidney pain.
This happened to me and it was so painful that I just made my peace. I thought it was over...
Yup I heavily feel you, because of this it just taught me to come to terms with death. Traumatizing as well if even a little pain strikes somewhere in my body I sometimes break down.
@@China-wh5td exactly! I was in horrible pain but also at peace. Super weird, I wasn’t scared or anything. I also get so nervous when I get pain back there because I’m like oh nooooo not again lol but it only happened once.

Take care of yourself dear.
@@leahrussell459 humans showed that low doses of boron (3 and 10 mg/day) prevented kidney stone formation.
I passed one a few months back that stuck with me for 3 weeks. Grown man and it made me AND my wife cry. I actually thought about dying a few times as the pain was just all consuming. On one of the rides to the hospital I just started wailing and talking about dying and my wife had a mental breakdown too. It was 1mm in size.

I died and having a kidney stone is worse.

When I was 16 I was diagnosed with infantile ureters. This meant the tube from my kidneys to my bladder did not grow. They remained very small. This caused my body to retain waste. This caused a build up of scar tissue and kidney stones. I was really sick. My urologist said they would have removed this kidney but the other kidney was damaged as well. Both kidneys weren’t working as well as one normal person’s kidney.
I had numerous surgeries to correct the problem and remove kidney stones. After the first
surgery my doctor presented me with a specimen cup with about twenty stones.
Had extreme pain in my right abdomen and diagnosed with a 1.6 cm stone. The first procedure installed a stent and the next procedure will use a laser to break up the stone. I'm looking forward to getting back to normal. Plan to drink a lot more water and modify my diet to prevent forming more stones in the future. This video was very informative!
When my cousin was 8 months pregnant, she thought she was going into early labor, but it turned out her excruciating pain was from kidney stones. When she gave birth 3 weeks after passing her stones, we all asked her what was more painful, natural childbirth, or kidney stones, (since she experienced both so close to eachother) and she said hands down, kidney stones are worse!
Yep.. I have heard the same from multiple women who gave natural birth.. I joke about my stones being my children.
I mean some people have an easier labor, but to each their own

this morning i passed my first kidney stone. i would listen to people tell me how bad they hurt in the past, so i had an idea in my head of what i thought it would be like if it ever happened to me. let me tell you, I HAD NO IDEA!! it was literally the most painful thing i have ever felt in my life. the pain was so intense that i began to sweat and vomit. i was crawling on my bathroom floor, thought i was honestly dying. i was in that condition for a little over 4 hours until it finally passed. i pray i never have to go through that again.
You just described my night. I literally just got back from the er thinking I was dying. I never thought I'd ever vomit and pass out because of pain.
Happen to me. Did not drink any water for 24 hours due to overwhelmingly busy. The next day, felt like my stomach about to explode. I think im gonna die. Manage to drive to hospital and get the pain killer, after checking, it was kidney stone. Xray said 15mm. CAT scan, its 5mm. It was intense. Need to hydrate and drink water daily..
A long time ago when I was dealing with a huge kidney stone and didn't know it, my ex husband yelled at me as I am on the verge of feeling like death, 'it's because you don't take care of yourself!". I look back at that and think, man he really was an awful human being. Can you imagine someone saying that to you as you are in so much pain from a ks?
My mom almost died recently because of kidney stones. I’m just crossing my fingers hoping I never deal with what she did lol
That's horrible oh my god I'm so sorry you went through that 😭
I wonder how it would compare to the chest surgery I had a few years ago. On the way home it felt like the meds hadn't kicked in at ALL and I could barely move, speak or breathe because anything I did I could feel my chest moving with it, big ass incisions and all (mind you these were pretty long, maybe about 8 inches each) sat in the passenger seat of my parents car for abt 45-60 mins like that making the most pathetic dog-whimpering noises ever 💀
I had one out of nowhere and I can confirm the pain. Suffered some injuries over time as an athlete but I’ve never felt pain like that. I crawled on my knees on my way to the ER, in tears and could barely talk. Doctor told me it’s the “equivalent to child birth”.
Thanks. That was very interesting and informative. I've been enjoying your videos.
its scary to think how fragile we all are, millions of tiny moving parts working 24/7 to keep us alive. Makes me feel brittle.
everytime you breathe you reset a few minute timer till your body dies from lack of oxygen
We are fragile, but the body is also so resilient
Think of it this way, all this unimaginable pain, yet we still survive.

Excellent commentary. Thank you very much. Great clarity for my ability to understand these issues that have attended me for decades. 😇👍👍
I had a massive kidney stone a few years ago, ended up having to have two surgeries to get rid of it. I felt like someone had dug their dull fingers into my body and they were slowly tearing me in half. I was surprised at the amount of mental anguish too; there was just no escape from the pain. It never diminished and nothing could ease it. It got to the point where everything around me faded and only my pain existed, it was almost like my mind so badly wanted to be unconscious but the pain wouldn't allow it.
Scary 😟
Oh my gosh, that sounds terrible! I had liver & kidney failure about 14 years ago & it was one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced! My whole body felt like i had been lit on fire & I was burning alive. I couldn’t see & I could only hear muffled, like I was underwater & the only thing I heard was someone screaming from a distance & eventually I finally realized it was me, I was screaming. The whole experience is surreal & while I don’t think about a lot, I still remember the pain very vividly.
What’s funny tho, is I had just finished reading the last Twilight book (I kno, I kno, it’s kinda cheesy, but we ALL have our guilty pleasures, lol!) & there’s a section where the main character is turning into a vampire & the author describes it as her feeling like she’s burning alive, like lava inside her, & the transformation typically took 2 1/2 - 3 days. Well, when I was going thru this, my mind wasn’t all there (I’d also had respiratory failure/lack of oxygen) & I remember thinking, “oh my god, a vampire bit me & now I’m gonna have to go thru this agony for 3 days!!!” I can laugh about it now, but my fucked up brain at that moment was really freaked out about it 😂
@@lilred0130 that's pretty funny haha good story. And I'm so sorry you went through that

Been there my friend
My kidney stone was, according to the doctor, just 1,5 milimeters in diameter. But I was still shaking in pain. Drenched in sweat, screaming and vomiting at the same time while a nurse was shooting pain killers into my lower back. Peeing blood, vomiting any water I drank, so an IV had to be put in. Limping on the left leg because of the stone after the worst had passed and then about 2 weeks of constant pain suppressed by chewing pain killers. Without a doubt the most all encompassing horrific pain I have ever experienced to this day. And yes.. 1,5 milimeters diameter was all it took for me..
😮😮😮 I'm sorry you went through that.
That was me, but mine was on steroids 😰😱. 8 mm 😭😭
I have one of 3 mm and I don't feel anything. The surprising thing is I'm in stage 4 of chronic kidney disease, so my kidneys are monitored very closely. I supose is accurate to say pain is subjective and I'm lucky where the stone is located 🤷♀️
Bro i went through the same exact thing a week ago.. it was the worse pain ever and to top it ,it was 12mm. Truly wish that you won't experience it again !
bruh it must suck for people who get kidney stones who dont have healthcare

Wise choice of words! Thankyou 😂

Dont drink too much water
I'm going to drink water reading your comment. I haven't even completed watching the video. Just 3 minutes in.
Gonna go get mine right now!
The first time I had kidney stones I didn't know what was happening to me. I thought I was going to die because there was strong pain with no apparent reason. That scared me to my core. The second time that happened (a year or so later) I already knew what the feeling was with kidney stones so I was able to drive myself to the ER and explain to the doctors what was going on. The second time was much easier but still painful.
How long did it take to get it out?
Yep. First time, i truly thought I was dying....and hoped I would, honestly. I was 18 and my mom figured it out on the way to the e.r.(she experienced them, too). Worst 2 days of my life until the 2nd bout with them. Godawful stuff.
Same thing here I had just finished high school at 17 I just woke up one day and barely could’ve walked, then it was the fever then it was the drinking water and literally peeing a minute later the the worst part the pain. I literally thought I was dying and tbh I didn’t mind if I did with this. Took a while before I found out what it was because they missed it the first time. I think the only good thing that came out of that was coming to terms with death.
AHHH I CAN RELATE
Same here everything except I birthed my twins at home lol
I’ve had kidney stones…unbelievable pain. When in the hospital, I was next to an ex Israeli soldier who told me he had once had kidney stones, he had also had been shot two times in military service. He told me he would rather get shot than have kidney stones.
Thank you, I have had Kidney stones since the age of 15. Dr Laughed then and couldn't work out what was wrong. I have passed over the last three weeks several stones, some small and a couple at 4.5mm. I had more pain and needed to attend the emergency room, had a CT and they told me there is a very unusually shaped stone that is blocking the flow but is in a position they couldn't get to. I have learned a lot from this video and thank you for this. ATB
Take pain killer like mobikare and eat grapefruit and take water
I had kidney stones a few years ago. When I walked into the emergency room, the attendant looked at me and said, “By the look on your face, I can see that you have kidney stones!”…It’s the look of death. While I was lying there in agony, for the first time, I had pain so significant that death seemed like a viable alternative. Once they gave me some IV drugs, I was in heaven. I went from feeling as bad as I’ve ever felt, to feeling the best I’ve ever felt inside of five minutes.
Hi mate. I was the same. Gas and air 1st then on a line and nothing was happening. Gave me mophine and it was heaven...wow lol. Best of health bud

@@bergeracvandamme I had the same experience, morphine did not help but mine passed in a few hours

Well usually be delightful that your a girl you could easily pee out the kidney stone cuz girls vulva had a wider space to pee it out and men sadly to damage their inner penile urethra cuz it's so tight and long their it's so hard to pass the kidney out depends how long the men penile is

@@Prokasio_Proster It's not just the penile urethra but also the prostata which has to be passed. And that can be quite difficult for older males.

I had a kidney stone 6 years ago and I absolutely thought I was dying. I called my friends and family and ask them to make sure that my dogs were taken care of. I literally started making end-of-life plans. I just couldn't believe that I could be in that much pain and not be dying. had to have a surgery to have it removed

Bear with me…I was standing in line at the bank with two people ahead of me. Out of nowhere I starting sweating and then a slow steady feeling of a dull knife pushing slowly through my back, through my body core and up to the right front near the appendix as the pain intensified it continued to get stronger to the point I fell to my knees and passed out from the pain. I woke up with the medics putting me on the gurney as the pain was still radiating to the maximum. They couldn’t give me pain meds because they didn’t know the cause. A cat scan showed I had a 10mm jagged shaped stone stuck in my ureter trying to escape my kidney. It was too large to pass. So, fortunately this hospital had a lithotripsy unit that uses ultrasound waves to blast and pulverize the stone into basically sand and then you pass it through your bladder. I’ve passed a few smaller ones in the years since but I have never experienced pain on a scale of that magnitude and I hope none of you ever experience one tenth of that pain.
jesus mother of god.. what did the wave blasts feel like ??
I’ve had similar incidents and know the pain you speak of. I’m a rather big guy and for people to see me roll on the floor in acute pain, is one of the weirdest things they have ever seen. On one occasion a person calling for help, had thought I’d been stabbed. Imagine the confusion when the medics couldn’t see any blood.
Good lord
Feel that, but not that big. I was home alone, going to get some food and suddenly i feel this knife stab on the back. Took me 15 minutes to get my strength back and call my dad to get me. Horrible shit for sure

Thank you for this video. I had a kidney stone in my late 20's. The day started as normal, if a little stiff in the area of the kidney.
I went to work and things got progressively worse. I actually felt as if I had been kicked by a horse.
Then it got worse....
In the end it broke after some self medicating... The relief is what I remembered best, and for a long time afterwards.
I've had an 8mm kidney stone about 3 years ago, and it was hands down the most painful experience of my entire life. Take every broken bone, every dental treatment without local anaesthetics, every headache and stomachache combined, multiply them by 10 and you're not even close. I woke up in the middle of the night and literally screamed with pain. Called myself a taxi, crawled outside on the street, waited what felt like an eternity for the taxi to arrive, then told him to get me to the nearest hospital as fast as he can. There, I limped to the reception in slow motion, tried to tell the lady what my problem is but could barely form a sentence through all the pain. Luckily though, she guessed what happened and declared an emergency, so I "just" had to wait for about 10 minutes (it felt like 8 hours, honestly). After I squirmed with pain and almost passed out, a doctor came and finally gave me some really strong pain meds. Trust me, I don't even want this to happen to my worst enemy!
Jesus..that sounds horrible. Glad you're okay now.
You lucky bastard. Mine was also in the middle of the night, so I crawled in with PJ's and bedhead. In Seattle, WA. Where they just *assume* you're a drug addict when you walk in. They made me writhe in pain for nearly 2 hours before they confirmed that I had a stone and would give me morphine. The nurses were real bitches about it too. Worst night of my life.

I couldn't even imagine the horror of having to wait for 2 hours while in such a pain!! 😱😵
Same! When the nurse came in to shoot me with pain meds I saw him sprout a halo and wings 😂
Didn't call the ambulance ha, you must be in the US.
To prevent kidney stones from happening I am just casually selling both my kidneys on the black market.
Good luck living a whole 5 minutes.
You could totally buy a Nvidia RTX 3090!

As a kidney stone carrier and passer I con confirm this to be very true they are the absolute worst pain I ever had in my whole life and I have had broken bones fallen on my head scraped skin and crohns. The medicine they have me for pain relief was like no other. It helped so much and did not get me high may be a bit sleepy but being up all night with pain it was bound to happen.
Thank you for a fascinating video. My husband gets these a lot. So good to actually understand what’s happening.
Glad it was helpful!
This is bringing up some PTSD feelings in me. I had a kidney stone that was so large it ripped the ureter and with each push my body tried, it ripped further. It was the most miserable experience of my life. The pain was so excruciating that I stayed in the bathroom on the toilet because the overwhelming need to pee and everytime I did, I would pass out from the pain- it was that intense. I would then wake up on the bathroom floor countless times with my pants still down and the extreme urge to pee. I'd hop back on the toilet and the process kept repeating itself for a few hours until my husband got home and took me to the ER. I don't remember much at the hospital because of all the painkillers they put me on but I do remember getting the ultrasound water thing. As a mom of 3 who's had natural childbirth- Id gladly do the natural childbirth all over again too. I'd do all 3 again on the exact same day, one after the other if it was a choice between that and a kidney stone. At least in natural childbirth I wasn't passing out from pain and got a cute baby as a reward.
Same! Unfortunately I am in the rare hereditary grouping and there is no end in sight to my stone formations. Working hard on #593 right now. I'm the only female in my family with this, but I have a few male uncles and cousins that share my misery. I hate how traumatic your experience was, but I've had a few like that. I would stack laundry baskets with towels around the toilet to keep from busting my head when I passed out. My doctor is a sadist and would treat me horribly for being a young female. Most of his patients were old men. I deal with almost everything on my own. The rules are, only seek treatment if I'm running a high fever or have experienced a complete blockage for more than 24 hours. I would rather have more children than a gravel driveway as well.
@@LoriCrabtree31 I'm sorry to hear you're going through it that much. My heart goes out to you❤.... On a lighter note maybe me and you should start a gravel driveway business. Or at least fish tanks. We've got a never-ending supply😂😂😂😂❤
@@LoriCrabtree31 humans showed that low doses of boron (3 and 10 mg/day) prevented kidney stone formation. just wondered if you knew. Boron is a necessary mineral for calcium absorption. People are low in it like they are low in d3.
@@sarcasticcat4982 Thank you so much for trying to help, but sadly I've been through everything. Going on 18 years of this now. Just glad you didn't say, "That's easy, drink more water"
@@LoriCrabtree31 no....drinking more water ain't gonna help unless possibly its bottled steamed distilled water because steam distilled water eats calcium. If you drink unmineralized water you need to be on a calcium supplement for sure.
The medical community hides tons.of things from people in order to promote their obedience to and their payoffs from big pharma.
I read a lot of.medical journals and studies because of it. I found that one on boron recently. I haven't had a kidney stone ever, and from reading comments on here, I damn sure don't want one. So ill be starting boron today....😺I hope you find some relief. It sounds unbearable.
I honestly don’t get why we don’t watch videos like this in my biology class because I’ve learned more in this video that’s I have in a whole year of classroom learning
Indeed
Biology is the base science of organic matter, you wouldn’t learn this stuff unless you take human anatomy classes as those focus specifically on the human body.
Maybe you should be paying attention in class.
@@alexcardwell2246 but were learning about the heart so it would make sense to learn about kidneys too
@@andrebrown8969 I don’t really pay attention in class but it’s probably because it’s boring with the teacher just non stop talking about stuff that’s why I’m saying videos like this would be better
Wow...EXCELLENT explanation. THANKS a lot! I just had 2 uresteroscopies and am going now to an extracorporeal lithotricy because I still have a big stone that the laser equipment couldn't get, for the location of this stone. I have a renal stent, which helps me🙏🙏. Watching you, I'm better informed and believe me, YOUR EXPLANATION IS WONDERFUL AND GRAFIC, and I'm Hispanic 😊😊. Thanks for this great kidney class!❤
Thank you for showing us an actual stone next to the kidney. It gives me a better understanding of size. I’ve had kidney stones for years. I’ve recently found out I have a 3 CM stag horn stone that will have to get removed. 😭
